Impedance using Power Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Impedance = Resistance/Power Factor
Z = R/cosΦ
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Impedance - (Measured in Ohm) - Impedance (Z), in electrical devices, refers to the amount of opposition faced by the direct or alternating current when it passes through a conductor component, circuit, or system.
Resistance - (Measured in Ohm) - Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω).
Power Factor - Power Factor is defined as the ratio of the actual electrical power dissipated by an AC circuit to the product of the r.m.s. values of current and voltage.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Resistance: 60 Ohm --> 60 Ohm No Conversion Required
Power Factor: 0.86 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Z = R/cosΦ --> 60/0.86

Evaluating ... ...

Z = 69.7674418604651

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

69.7674418604651 Ohm --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

69.7674418604651 ≈ 69.76744 Ohm <-- Impedance
